Jewish World Review December 27, 2013/ 24 Teves, 5774 If a President breaks his own law 15 times why should we obey it? By Dave Weinbaum

Because I try not to guess at substantive issues, I ask a lot of questions. Of course when
I'm just kidding around, I'll ask, "If a baker marries his sister, is he inbred twice?" This
goes over big on any call or business dealing where the last thing service personnel ask is,
"Do you have any questions?" I don't know why, but this is especially popular in
Arkansas, ancestral home of the Clintons.
Seriously, if a President shreds the Constitution, do we have the right to civilly disobey?
Barry's own law, Obamacare wasn't written with words like "but if this happens" or
"may be changed by executive fiat whenever the President has eaten a bad oyster or
became high from some choom" or "the President shall take on the powers of a
monarchy. His and only His word may be defined as law—May he live long and stay the
Hell away from us."
It used to be reasonably clear who made the laws, who signed them and who enforced
them. Executive changes were made, but never 15 major law-breaking attacks. This is
like a rash of knockout games on 1/6th of our economy.
The ACA was solid, not to be touched by anyone. That was made quite clear by the
vicious attacks on the likes of Senators Ted Cruz and Mike Lee when they tried to
legislate what the President is doing by whim. The President's legislating laws must
be done through Congress. No law should be changed other than by Congress that
expresses itself with such language as "shall be," not maybe.
More people registered disgust over what GLAAD and A&E did to Phil Robertson and
the Duck Dynasty than have signed up for Obamacare in three months. If this keeps on,
and it will, the death spiral of Obamacare will drag the country down an economic and
health care abyss.
Obama once said that he couldn't govern if National Health Care wasn't backed by a
majority of the American people. Yet, at 35% support and dropping, Obama insists on
digging in his heels. Now desperate, he's flinging dictatorial orders at Americans and the
insurance companies faster than a dog catching Frisbees in rapid-fire. These commands
contradict the law he was proud to be named after while shredding the Constitution he
swore to defend.
Meanwhile, polls favoring Republicans over Democrats in the 2014 midterms have
shown a staggering switch. In two months, from October to December, Repubs have
gained 13% on the Dems, leading them by seven percent.
Obama and the Dems who shilled for him may be looking at more than lost elections or
civil disobedience.
This isn't some foreign war that people are concerned with but few are hurt personally
by. This is about everyone's personal relationship with their insurance, doctors, hospitals
and budget. We're talking about life and death issues in a system that is disintegrating
before our eyes—all because of one party and their President.
The only people who are in favor of obeying this law are like those who were allergic to
alcohol during Prohibition.
Obama may be conducting a scenario that would be ripe for Civil War.
